Famous for his rags-to-riches fortune, Pacquiao said he would strive to create a more favorable and more “welcoming climate” for foreign investments.

Filipinos will have the first crack to fill up job vacancies under a “Filipino first” policy that presidential aspirant Sen. Manny Pacquiao will put in place if elected to the highest position in the land.Pacquiao made this vow which is part of his anti-poverty platform that will occupy the priority in his “to do” list as chief executive.

Speaking before a huge audience in Quezon City, Pacquiao said that while it is provided under the 1987 Constitution that the “State shall promote the preferential use of Filipino labor,” there is now a notable surge in the number of foreigners working in various businesses, especially in the offshore-gaming sector.

“Hindi kasi maayos at malakas ang ekonomiya natin kaya walang maibibigay na trabaho. Nagsarado pa ang mga businesses natin na maliliit na dapat nagbibigay ng trabaho din. Ang kailangan natin palakasin natin ang ekonomiya. ,” Pacquiao told the cheering crowd during his QC visit.
